Going to Milan was Sophia's decision.
But she meant it when she said she wanted to study fashion design for Colin. She had the opportunity to be with the man she loved, but she let it slip through her fingers. To repay his kindness, even if he'd never forgive her again, she would do everything she could.
She would work in the SL Group and help out as much as she could when she came back.
Aaron's words brought her back to her senses. "Okay, take good care of yourself, sister. I have to go. Class is about to begin."
"Sure, bye."
After ending the call, Sophia gazed out the window and looked at the plane taking off from the runway. She suddenly realized that the lunar new year was coming up...
It reminded her of the last lunar new year, the one she would never forget, the one she had spent together with him.
Plucking up all the courage left in her, Sophia called Wendy.
The Li's House.
Wendy placed the baby on the sofa and said, "Stay still, my dear. Grandma needs to change your diaper."
Colin silently stood at the corner, watching the little boy wave his arms and legs, with no emotion in his eyes.
"Colin, are you going to help me or what? I need to change his diaper," Wendy resigned herself with a sigh.
Colin glanced at the giggling baby, "He is not my son. I have no obligation to nurse him."
If Wendy didn't insist keeping him, Colin would've sent the baby away.
"I don't like hearing those words from you, Colin. I believe Sophia. If she said the baby is yours, then it should be yours." Not expecting him to help, Wendy went back to the sofa with a new diaper.
She liked her grandson; he looked just as cute as his mother. Ever since the boy was brought to the Li's House, she had been personally taking care of him, not even allowing the servants to help.
But Wendy's happiness dwindled when she thought about Sophia. Colin had forbidden Wendy to call her on the phone.
"Don't mention that woman's name. She's a liar. How can you trust her words?" Colin shot an irritated glance at Wendy.
"You think she lied about the baby? Then, why don't you have him get a paternity test? Do something about it, instead of just moping around." Wendy threw the dirty diaper into the trash can, wiped the baby's butt with a wet towel, and put on a new one.
"Why should I waste my money on a bastard? Give it to me. I will throw it away." Colin strode to the sofa and stretched his hands out to the baby. Seeing that, Wendy hurriedly held the child into her arms.
She glared at Colin, "If you don't believe the child is yours, then you should give him back to Sophia. Why don't you tell her that her child is still alive? How can you let her suffer the pain of losing a child? Do you even know how it feels like? How can you be this cruel!"
With a scornful gaze, Colin retorted, "Why should I pity a woman who has betrayed me?" Besides, didn't he go see her in the hospital? Wasn't that enough?
Frustration flashed in Wendy's eyes. Even though she was on Sophia's side, things had already gotten so messed up that she herself wan't sure whether Sophia had betrayed Colin or not.
All of a sudden, Wendy's phone rang.
Colin glanced at it and rejected the call.
The phone rang again, but Colin still shut it off.
"Who is it? Give that to me," Wendy said, reaching out a hand.
"Prank call. I'll add it to the black list," Colin blocked Sophia's number and handed the phone to Wendy.
That damn woman! How dare she call his mother?
Colin glanced at the baby, who was sucking his thumb. He said to Wendy, "Give it to me. I'll have him take a paternity test."
Wendy threw her phone away hastily, hugged the baby tightly and said, "I can't trust you. What if you send Brody away?"
Jordan had named the child "Ambrose", so his nickname was "Brody".
"If he is my child, I wouldn't send him away. Now, give him to me, Mother," With a frown, Colin repeated himself.
"No, I can't trust in you. I'll ask your father to have him tested, and then you can give some of your hair to use."
